Best Armor Sets In Kingdoms Of Amalur: Re-Reckoning

Kingdoms Of Amalur is an RPG that came out in 2012. In 2020, a remaster called Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning was released, making the game available on modern consoles. Although the remaster didn't offer many changes and the graphical overhaul was subpar, it still delighted most because it allowed them to replay a classic title.

Like all RPG titles, Kingdoms of Amalur offers a ton of customization in terms of armor sets. In this game, the players are given the chance to choose from a wide array of incredible armor sets. Although, some of them are arguably way better and more effective than others in dealing with the game's main quests, side quests, and everything in between.

Updated March 1, 2022 by Mark Sammut: Kingdoms of Amalur is the comeback story of the decade. The RPG went from being nearly inaccessible to gaining a remaster and expansion in the span of a few years, the latter of which served as a thank-you letter to those fans who stuck around. Although the game shows its age in a number of ways, Kingdoms of Amalur's combat is still a lot of fun, and players will have plenty of armor sets waiting for them throughout their journey. This article has been expanded to include the stats of each set.
